I am new to sp objects and this seems more convienint than qgis ->
shapefile -> import into GRASS.  I am having a problem getting the
data from a spatial points dataframe into grass.  Below is the code.
Any help would be appreciated.

z <- (dput(ftbr_UTM)
structure(list(site = c("Jennie_Creek_Main_Stem", "Jennie_Creek_Main_Stem",
"Wolf_Pit_Creek_Main_Stem", "Wolf_Pit_Creek_Main_Stem",
"Little_Rockfish_Main_Stem_North",
"Little_Rockfish_Main_Stem_North", "Big_Muddy_Creek_Main_Stem",
"Big_Muddy_Creek_Main_Stem", "Flat_Creek_Main_Stem", "Flat_Creek_Main_Stem",
"little_river_tributary", "little_river_tributary", "Hector_Creek_Main_Stem",
"Hector_Creek_Main_Stem", "Juniper_Creek_Main_Stem", "Juniper_Creek_Main_Stem",
"Field_Branch_Main_Stem", "Field_Branch_Main_Stem", "Gum_Branch_Main_Stem",
"Gum_Branch_Main_Stem"), base = c("ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr",
"ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr",
"ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr", "ftbr"
), creek = c("jcms", "jcms", "wpms", "wpms", "lrf1", "lrf1",
"bmcm", "bmcm", "fcms", "fcms", "lrtb", "lrtb", "hcms", "hcms",
"jpms", "jpms", "fbms", "fbms", "gbms", "gbms"), date = c("06/20/2010",

101, 81, 81, 59, 59, 75, 75, 73, 73, 55, 55, 55, 55, 88, 88,

673159, 658917, 658918, 655613, 655464, 651748, 651553), y = c(3887647,
3887758, 3886986, 3886870, 3893724, 3893581, 3876272, 3876145,
3893886, 3893742, 3895529, 3895663, 3895076, 3895261, 3882474,
3882663, 3881587, 3881591, 3884249, 3884280), station = c(1,
6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6), notes_ = c(NA,

"14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20")))


utm2points <- function(data, x_coord="x", y_coord="y", coord_string=NULL){

#utm 17
#+proj=utm +zone=17 +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +no_defs

#utm 16
#+proj=utm +zone=16 +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +no_defs

require(rgdal)

#get x y
coord <- c(x_coord, y_coord)
x_y <- data[,charmatch(coord, colnames(data))]

#get everything else
dater <- data[,-charmatch(coord, colnames(data))]

#make Spatial Data Frame

CRS(coord_string))
return(Point_vector)
}


z <- utm2points(ftbr_UTM, coord_string="+proj=utm +zone=17
+ellps=GRS80 +units=m +no_defs")


#and then I try to import this into GRASS with

writeVECT6(z, "ftbr_2010_sampling_points")

#and get the following error

Error in writeOGR(SDF, dsn = rtmpfl1, layer = shname, driver = "ESRI
Shapefile") :

        GDAL Error 1: Invalid index : -1
In addition: Warning message:

        Non-fatal GDAL Error 6: Normalized/laundered field name:

so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
